Exit Interview

I feel confident about my answers!

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

"How does an author communicate who they are through their stories?"
1) Setting2)Character3)Weather or not an author communicates who they are depends on why they write((best answer))
#3 is my best answer because even though answers 1 and 2 are true, they can always be disproved by #3. Also, authors are very cunning and it would be very simple for them to disassociate themselves from their stories like wearing a mask.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

 Both of the independent components were a big influence, as was my 2nd interview with Alison Baker.

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

Well, I didn't want my third answer to necessarily be my best answer at first. I knew it had to be an answer because there was just so much supporting it, but I din't realize it was my best answer until I was writing my essay and it sort of just made itself known.

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

The novel Glimmer Train, because it was answering and asking all of my questions for me. It even asked things I hadn't thought about. It gave me both my first and third answer (partially).the second thing would be Alison Baker, my mentor. Her experience as a professor and fellow reader and writer has given me such good resources and insight on my topic. The things I learned from Mrs. Baker I could never learn from Google. Or maybe I could, but it would take forever.
